xubuntu light-locker: where is the configuration stored?

  • 772

My companies software stack for Linux includes some "security scripts" that check if the screensaver is configured according to our security policy. I am about to extend that script to handle light locker.

Step 1 will be to retrieve the current light-locker settings. So where can I find them?

xubuntu

    sudo find / -name *light-locker* on my xubuntu 14.04 install finds these entries: http://pastebin.com/JgTW10RV

    The most promising option is the light-locker-settings.py which ends up pointing to the following files:

    /etc/xdg/autostart/light-locker.desktop
~/.config/autostart/light-locker.desktop
~/.config/autostart/screensaver-settings.desktop

    The first one seems to be system wide settings, the second seems to be user settings, and the third seems to be for screensaver settings.
